A New Low

I've reached it. I couldn't do Claire's math today. And then, to top it off, I wrote her teacher a note to tell her it was a "dumb" worksheet. Luckily, she has a good sense of humor... I hope. By the way, Kyle was able to save the day. I guess that why he has the doctorate.

I knew I was in trouble in high school when I could barely pass 10th grade math. I knew then that my kids were doomed.Way to go on the note. I would never have the guts to do that even though I've wanted to hundreds of times.

Love that you told the teacher what you really thought about it! I'm convinced I could never go on that show "are you smarter than a 5th grader?" I really do believe there really is just too much useless information that we force down our kids' throats. Obviously we don't remember it all, nor do we need to!

what a cute family you have. I am glad i found your blog again. Thank you so much again for all the boy clothes-it has saved us! They do grow fast don't they!?! I love the high school pictures. Hey, i just found out your parents are in my brothers ward. He was their old bishop-Tom Lamb. Small world. I guess he knows them and your in-laws well and thinks the world of both families.
